I think we really need to have these in-depth conversations with white people, but the conservative folks I know don’t seem to want to have this conversation – it is as if they think it has nothing to do with them. I find it incredible that they are not more curious to really find out what all the “fuss” is about. And for my liberal friends, they are so angry they seem to want to talk at each other (preaching to the choir). It leaves a huge canyon between white folks. Where the hell is the helicopter?

A thoughtful observation, Tyson, and exactly my experience, too. I think the whites who don’t care will have to be made to care. Their comfy lily-white cocoons will have to be disturbed — since their consciences aren’t.
